Borough ranks federal priorities

at the penalties for not having coverage, which he says have averaged around $600, but have been as high as $2,000.

“People are getting really surprised, because a lot of them hadn’t been paying attention and didn’t realize the situation it was going to create,” Duffield said.

The Kenai Peninsula Borough is asking for minimal federal financial assistance for the 2016 fiscal year.

In the borough’s 2015 Federal Priorities approved by the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly Feb. 2, the Payment in Lieu of Taxes and Secure Rural Schools were listed as necessary forms of revenue for the Kenai Peninsula, said borough mayor Mike Navarre.

The Payment in Lieu of Taxes and Secure Rural Schools are two federal programs that provide significant support for the borough, Navarre said. Every year there is the chance that the government will lessen the amount of money they fund states in these programs, he said.

“The federal government owns approximately six million acres within the Kenai Peninsula Borough, which is 60 percent of the total land area in the borough,” according to the list of priorities.

Those lands are located within the Lake Clark, Katmai and Kenai Fjords National Parks, the Kenai and Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuges and the Chugach National Forest, according to the list.

The borough provides services in these areas where tax collection is not an option, Navarre said. Receiving revenue from these taxes is important for maintaining those services, he said. What money that is received goes directly into the borough’s General Fund.

Beyond monetary requests, the borough also asked for managerial focus on projects such as the “Cooper Landing Bypass,” Navarre said. It is an expensive project, and one of

Committee plans to resume Maw hearing later this week

JUNEAU (AP) — The Senate Resources Committee plans to continue its confirmation hearing of Roland Maw to the state Board of Fisheries.

The hearing began Monday but not everyone who had signed up to testify was able to do so during the allotted time. Committee chair Cathy Giessel said committee members probably have some additional questions, too. She continued the hearing until Friday.

Maw had been a finalist for state fish and game commissioner. But his application died after the Board of Game voted to give him an interview and the Board of Fisheries declined.

Gov. Bill Walker later appointed Maw to the board to replace Karl Johnstone. Johnstone resigned after being told he would not be reappointed when his term expired.

Maw’s appointment is subject to legislative confirmation.

Tax season brings surprises Penalties for lack of health insurance come as a shock

By IAN FOLEY Peninsula Clarion

Due to new laws and other factors, this tax season has caused surprises for some taxpayers. While there are many questions about filing 2014 returns, there are just as many people and organizations trying to help answer them.

Jim Duffield, CPA for Lib-

erty Tax Service in Kenai, said one reason this tax season is unlike past years is due to the Affordable Care Act. “Every tax season is crazy,” Duffield said. “This one is definitely different. It’s different in the fact that the Affordable Care Act — everyone calls it Obamacare — is finally in, what we would call, full swing.”

Board to meet on possible emergency pot regulation

By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU (AP) — The Alcoholic Beverage Control Board plans to meet next week to decide whether to consider an emergency regulation defining what constitutes a public place for purposes of the new marijuana law. The board plans to meet Feb. 24, the day the voterbacked initiative to legalize recreational use of pot takes effect.

The initiative bans public consumption but does not define “public.” The board’s director, Cynthia Franklin, said the board reviewed the initiative to see if any other area absolutely needed to be addressed to avoid confusion or chaos as the law takes effect. She said that issue stood out.

The board will decide if that constitutes an emergency for writing a rule that would be in

effect for 120 days, she said. If it decides that, she said she expects the board will look at the definition for public that’s already included in state law for criminal offenses.

Under the initiative, the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board is in charge of writing regulations for the industry unless the Legislature creates a new board.

Franklin said the alcohol board doesn’t have the technical authority to make rules related to marijuana until Feb. 24.

Lawmakers have been working on legislation to update state laws in line with the initiative, but Senate Majority Leader John Coghill, R-North Pole, said he didn’t see a bill passing both houses by Feb. 24.

A rewrite of a bill is expected this week in the Senate Judiciary Committee, he said Monday during the Senate majority’s weekly news conference.

field said people need to show documentation of health coverage during the year. If an individual didn’t have health coverage, they could be subject to a tax penalty.

According to a Gallup Poll, 13.4 percent of Americans were uninsured near the end of 2014.

Duffield said that some local people have been shocked

Some lawmakers worry about cost of Medicaid expansion

By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU — A subcommittee hearing on Gov. Bill Walker’s proposal to expand Medicaid coverage revealed few new details Monday, with several members expressing concern about the cost and the federal government not honoring its commitment.

In states opting for expansion, the federal government is expected to fund 100 percent of coverage costs for newly eligible individuals through 2016, with the level stepping down to 90 percent by 2020.

The federal match for existing Medicaid is 50 percent.

Rep. Dan Saddler, who chairs a Health and Social Services subcommittee comC

1st SESSION

prised of House Finance members, asked Health Commissioner Valerie Davidson if the federal government’s ability to uphold its end of the bargain gave her pause.

Davidson said she is comfortable with Alaska moving forward with expansion. She noted that the federal contribution rate after 2016 would be similar to that of infrastructure projects, like roads or runways. The state needs to look at investing in health care as another important investment in Alaska, she said.

The state has told the fed-

eral Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that if the federal contribution rate falls below 90 percent, Alaska would no longer participate, she said. But Rep. Lance Pruitt, R-Anchorage, questioned if the state would truly just stop providing care to those who fell within the expansion population if that happened.

Walker has made expansion a priority, and his administration is trying to win over lawmakers concerned about the cost as the state grapples with a projected multibilliondollar budget deficit. Medicaid, which helps provide health and long-term care to low-income Alaskans, is a driver of the state’s budget.

Testing based on Common Core standards are starting this week

By KIMBERLY HEFLING and JULIE CARR SMYTH Associated Press Writers

STOCKPORT, Ohio — Sixth-grader Kayla Hunter considers herself pretty tech savvy.

She has a computer at home unlike about half her classmates at her elementary school. And it matches up well with the one she’ll use this week to take a new test linked to the Common Core standards.

Still, the perky 11-year-old worries. During a recent practice exam at her school in Ohio, she couldn’t even log on. “It wouldn’t let me,” she said. “It kept saying it wasn’t right, and it just kept loading the whole time.”

Her state on Tuesday will be the first to administer one of two tests in English language arts and math based on the Common Core standards developed by two separate groups of states. By the end of the school year, about 12 million children in 29 states and the District of Columbia will take them, using computers or electronic tablets.

The exams are expected to be more difficult than the traditional spring standardized state exams they replace. In some states, they’ll require hours of additional testing time because students will have to do more than just fill in the bubble. The goal is to test students on critical thinking skills, requiring them to describe their reasoning and solve problems.

The tests have multimedia components, written essays and multi-step calculations needed to solve math problems that go beyond just using rote memory.

Students in some states will take adaptive versions in which questions get harder or easier depending on their answers.

But there’s been controversy.

The tests have been caught up in the debate playing out in state legislatures across the country about the federal role in education. Although more C

than 40 states have adopted Common Core, which spells out what reading and math skills students should master in each grade, several have decided not to offer the tests — known as the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, and Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC. Some states are introducing other new state standardized tests this year.

The Common Core tests fulfill the requirement in the federal No Child Left Behind law for annual testing in reading and math in grades three to eight and again in high school.

But as Congress seeks to rewrite the education law, there’s debate over whether the tests should be required by Washington, and whether students are being tested too much. Parents in pockets of the country have joined a movement to “opt out” of these standardized tests.

Questions also have been raised about students’ keyboarding skills and schools’ computer capacities.

In the Appalachian foothills where Kayla attends Morgan South Elementary School, administrators and teachers worry that they don’t have the bandwidth to provide reliable Internet connectivity on testing day.

Both tests offer a paper option.

PARCC officials anticipate that about a quarter of students will use the paper version; Smarter Balanced officials estimate roughly 10 to 20 percent will take it on paper.

Just eight days before the test, the Morgan Local School District in rural southeastern Ohio ordered 200 more Chromebooks, which worked best during the practice run.

The week before the test, Kayla and her classmates huddled in pairs sharing what devices were available at the school. “They’ll be more comfortable with the technology, but it is a worry of mine that, as far as the content that’s on it, there’s still stuff I could be do-

ing to prepare for the test,” says their teacher, Carrie Young.

Eleven-year-old Colton Kidd says the screens on the Chromebooks are too small. Classmate Josie Jackson, 12, prefers pencil and paper. But Liam Montgomery likes computerized tests: “It’s easier to get the answers down, because I don’t have to flip back and forth.”

In some places, school administrators and state leaders are only grudgingly moving forward. Referencing federal law, Illinois State Board of Education officials threatened to withhold funds from any district that didn’t administer the PARCC exam. Chicago Public Schools officials cited technology concerns in announcing they won’t give the exam in a majority of its schools.

Trisha Kocanda, superintendent of the Winnetka Public Schools in Illinois, told parents that she’s concerned about the length of the tests and the “excessive rigor.”

“We grow wary,” Kocanda said, adding, that they believe “this test continues the overemphasis on standardized assessments as evaluation tools for students and schools.”

In Louisiana, Gov. Bobby Jindal’s effort to stop the

PARCC exam was derailed by a state judge who said the governor’s actions were harmful to parents, teachers and students.

Jindal has said he took the action because he opposes what he views as federal intervention in the adoption of the standards.

Officials from the testing groups stand by the tests. In each of the states, students will see something that’s familiar and something that’s “new, different and exciting,” said Tony Alpert, executive director for Smarter Balanced.

“Smarter Balanced took the best of what states had in their previous systems and we made sure each state had access to that,” Alpert said.

Laura Slover, the chief executive officer of PARCC, said the tests have an important equity component because parents can compare how their students are doing in comparison to students in other states.

Education Secretary Arne Duncan said states are going to “figure this out together.”

“I think change is hard but anyone who thinks we should just do fill in the bubble tests and not look at critical thinking ... I don’t quite understand that,” Duncan said.

What Others Say

Daylight saving time a necessary inconvenience On Tuesday, the Alaska Senate’s State

Affairs Committee advanced a bill that would exempt the 49th state from daylight saving time starting in 2017.

It sounds like a good idea, and based on the comments you posted on Facebook and Twitter, many of you agree.

Unfortunately, reality has a way of dashing our hopes for improvement. While abandoning daylight saving time makes sense, Alaska would only benefit if the rest of the country follows suit. If Alaska abandons daylight saving while the rest of the country does not, the state will at times be an extra hour distant from the Lower 48. Imagine a two-hour difference between Juneau and Seattle or a fivehour difference between Southeast and the East Coast.

History has shown us that while Alaska has tended to keep the world at arms’ length, problems tend to arise when the distance grows too far.

Right now, Alaska has three time zones. Metlakatla is on Pacific Time (unofficially, Hyder is, too). Out west, Adak, Atka, Shemya and Attu are on Hawaii-Aleutians time. The rest of the state is firmly in the Alaska Time Zone.

That wasn’t always the case. Before Oct. 30, 1983, Alaska had four time zones. Most of Southeast was on Pacific Time. Yakutat was on Yukon Time, one hour later than Pacific. The Railbelt, including Anchorage and Fairbanks, was on Alaska time, two hours later than Pacific. Western Alaska including Nome, Dutch Harbor and the Aleutians, was in the Bering Time Zone, three hours distant from Pacific Time.

If you lived in Alaska before 1983, you know how much of a headache this spread was. Imagine today trying to set up meetings or coordinate flights between Anchorage and Juneau amid a two-hour time difference.

Juneau in particular has struggled with time troubles. In 1979, Mayor Bill Overstreet and the CBJ Assembly tried to move Juneau from Pacific Time to Yukon Time in order to reduce the two-hour difference between Juneau and the Railbelt.

The U.S. Department of Transportation approved the change, but so many people were upset by the move that it was reversed a year later.

We’ve seen first-hand what happens when Alaskans try to mess with time zones. Unless the rest of the United States — we’d even settle for just the West Coast — abandons daylight saving time alongside Alaska, the 49th state will simply trade one inconvenience for another.

We don’t like daylight saving time, but the alternative isn’t better. If you think otherwise, look at the lessons we’ve already learned.

Bobby Jindal for president?

Gov. Bobby Jindal’s name is not first on most people’s list of candidates for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, but maybe we should at least start paying attention to him. If one’s political enemies are any indication of potential strength, Jindal of Louisiana may be a more formidable force than some people realize.

During a visit to Washington Monday, Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank couldn’t wait to attack Jindal and his record. Why bother with someone he and others consider a lightweight from a small Southern state, unless there is more there than the elites think?

In an interview with me, Jindal gave long and rapid-fire answers. The governor, ineligible for re-election due to term limits, seemed in a hurry. He said he’d decide in “two to three months” whether to run for president.

In January 2009, when I interviewed Jindal in his office in Baton Rouge, just days before President Obama’s inauguration, the governor told me Republicans must decide what they are for before picking a presidential candidate. How’s that going?

“We’re doing better,” he says, “but we have more work to do.” He thinks Republicans should stop attacking Obamacare and start emphasizing what they would replace it with. He also faults members of his party for running against Obamacare in the last election and then “throwing in the towel and saying, ‘Well, you can’t really

repeal tax increases; you can’t really undo an entitlement program.’”

Jindal wants Republicans to get away from defining themselves as anti-Obama and the party of “no” and start showing Cal Thomas people “we can be principled, conservative, not just a cheaper version of the Democratic Party.”

What about Hillary Clinton? Can she be defeated if she runs?

“Absolutely,” says a confident Jindal, as if he were coaching a team against a superior opponent. “As Republicans we don’t need to obsess about our opponents, we don’t need to define ourselves in opposition to our opponents. Let (Democrats) look backward; we need to look forward.”

He says voters want the hard truth told to them, which immediately brings to mind the oft-quoted Jack Nicholson line from “A Few Good Men”: “You can’t handle the truth.” In the age that obsesses with cultural embarrassments like the Kardashian family, the truth — if we can agree on what that is — may be the last thing people want to hear.

But Jindal’s sentiment is a noble one.

I ask him about the potential candidacy of former former-Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida, and Jindal adopts Reagan’s “11th Commandment” admonition never to criticize

a fellow Republican: “Anybody who is thinking about running doesn’t need to define himself against particular candidates.

We need to say what we are for.” While Jindal says he “has a lot of respect” for Bush, who once championed Common Core federal education standards. Jindal, however, opposes it. He adds he doesn’t want to see “the establishment, the party donors, trying to clear the field for anybody. An open debate is good for the voters.”

On foreign policy, he and former Sen. Jim Talent (R-Mo.) have written a paper on the subject. Among other things, he wants to arm the Kurds in their fight against ISIS in Iraq and demonstrate to our allies America’s resolve to support them in any fight against the Islamic State, support he thinks is lacking under the Obama administration.

He would also send arms to the Ukrainian military now fighting Russian troops.

On social issues, Jindal, a Roman Catholic, says: “I’m not changing my position on marriage or protecting human life. I know it’s fashionable for a lot of politicians to change their minds ... It doesn’t matter what the polls say on this. I’m not evolving with the polls.”

Jindal is a long shot for president and even vice president, but he brings enthusiasm, a positive outlook and a decent record as governor and that’s not a bad start for any presidential candidate.

Paul finds 2016 bid a rougher ride than Senate

By LAURIE KELLMAN Associated Press Writer

AP News Extra

WASHINGTON — Sen. Rand Paul hasn’t yet declared his candidacy for president, but the Kentucky Republican already is finding the campaign trail to be a more uncomfortable place than the cloistered, tradition-bound Senate.

Out there, it’s a hard-to-control world where every misstep — real or perceived, and even a televised “shush” — rockets around the Internet. What Paul’s supporters see as feisty truth-telling is endlessly inspected for inaccuracies. He’s frustrated by what draws headlines instead of his work in the Senate, which has earned praise from once-wary colleagues in both parties.

Paul last week said of his prospective White House run: “Part of the decision making process is, ‘Do you have a chance?

Is the message resonating? Do people believe that you can somehow win this? ‘ “ “Because it’s not really a lot of fun.”

An ophthalmologist and father of three, Paul won election to the Senate in 2010 after defeating a candidate preferred by Washington Republicans in the GOP primary. In the past four years, he’s earned respect for his work ethic, his willingness to negotiate and his effectiveness as an advocate for his home state of Kentucky.

“I think Rand Paul has developed into a fine United States senator and has evolved over the last four years and is more pragmatic today than he might have been when he entered,” said Georgia Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson. “He’s a very thoughtful and pragmatic individual right now.”

Said Delaware Democratic Sen. Chris Coons, who has worked with Paul on privacy issues and ending blindness: “While we don’t agree on an awful lot of policy, I’ve never doubted that he came to Washington with certain ideals that he wanted to make progress on. I do think folks ought to give him more credit for his willingness to C

found mental disorders after vaccines.” He later said he only meant that vaccinations and disorders were “temporally” related, or connected by time.

He also suggested in October that the Centers for Disease Control was minimizing the risk of catching Ebola at, for example, a cocktail party. World health experts have been clear that Ebola is transmitted through direct contact with bodily fluids, particularly blood and vomit.

Such incidents lead Paul to spend time explaining and clarifying his own words, rather than talking about what he’d rather discuss. That frustration appeared to boil over late last month. He put a finger to his lips and “shushed” a female interviewer on CNBC, telling her to “calm down” when she challenged him on corporate tax policy. Paul said he felt interrupted.

John Paul Rollert, who teaches about leadership and presidential politics at Harvard Extension School, said this is a key period for Paul to test and hone patience and discipline. He’ll need to wait out the issues that bug him — “no matter how redundant or obnoxious” — long enough to deliver his message.

“It takes someone nearly superhuman to do that well, and I’m not convinced that Sen. Paul does that well yet,” Rollert said.

“It’s a real liability for him, because it’s only going to get worse.”

It’s a challenge of running for president that Paul himself is not eager to talk about.

“To characterize that my life up here for four years has been about whether or not something’s accurate or inaccurate or controversies, I think, is to miss 99 percent of what I’m doing up here,” he said, before adding: “I attempt every day to present my views in a very honest and forthright way.

And I think I achieve that.”

work across the aisle.”

That’s what Paul, 52, wants to talk about as he explores whether to run for president in 2016, he said in a recent interview. But the leap from the relative sanctuary of the Senate to the unending scrutiny of the campaign can test Paul’s patience, and at times, bring out the prickliest parts of his personality.

This past week, Paul has been aggressively demanding that Washington “audit the Fed,” or the Federal Reserve, a calling card issue for him as it was for his father, former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul. A portrait of father and son hangs in Paul’s office, but he bristled at questions about his dad, a Libertarian who ran for president as a Republican, and what he might take from Paul’s potential run in 2016.

“I think that would be a good question if I were 18 maybe, or something. I mean, I’ve been an adult and on my own for 30-some odd years, so I guess I’m not really used to thinking about my life in those terms,” Paul said. “I’ve been a physician, been a surgeon, been a leader. ... I’ve been elected to the Senate for four years. I think I’m pretty much am able to stand on my own two feet and be judged for who I am.”

Controlling that narrative has become a priority for Paul after a season of misstatements — and, he says, mischaracterizations — on topics ranging from those in his own profession to public policy. On Thursday, for example, Paul referred to having earned a “biology degree” while speaking at a U.S. Chamber of Commerce event.

Critics jumped, noting that Paul doesn’t have an undergraduate degree. His office pushed back, pointing out that Paul is a graduate of Duke University’s prestigious medical school.

Paul recently told CNBC he had “heard Associated Press writer Charles Babingof many tragic cases of walking, talking, ton contributed to this report. normal children who wound up with pro-

Nation & World Around the World Sources identify gunman in Copenhagen attacks; say he got out of jail 2 weeks ago COPENHAGEN, Denmark — The gunman responsible for Copenhagen’s deadly shooting attacks was released from jail about two weeks ago and might have become radicalized there last summer, a source close to the Danish terror investigation told The Associated Press on Monday.

Two Danish sources close to the investigation confirmed to the AP that the gunman was named Omar Abdel Hamid ElHussein. They spoke on condition of anonymity because Copenhagen police have not named the gunman, who they said was a 22-year-old Dane with a history of violence and gang connections. Several Danish media have already named him.

One source told the AP that El-Hussein had been in pretrial detention for a long time but was released two weeks ago. He also said the corrections authority had alerted Danish security service PET last year after they noticed worrisome changes in El-Hussein’s behavior last summer.

He wouldn’t give specifics but said such alerts are issued when inmates change their attitude or behavior in way that “sets off alarm bells.”

PET spokeswoman Lotte Holmstrup declined to comment on the report, saying “we are working on finding out what has happened.”

Egyptian village engulfed by grief, anger after 21 Christian Copts beheaded in Libya EL-AOUR, Egypt — This village of small mud alleys and brick homes is shattered by grief. Women draped in black are hoarse from screaming. Men sob in silence, at times shaking their heads as if to expel the horror from their minds.

Just last year, 13 young men from el-Aour, a Christianmajority farming community in Egypt’s Nile River Valley, traveled to neighboring Libya, among the tens of thousands of impoverished Egyptians seeking work there.

But they became victims of Libya’s chaos. They were among 21 Christians dragged off by militants in December and January. After nearly 50 days knowing nothing of their fate, their families on late Sunday saw their monstrous, videotaped last moments: The 21, wearing orange jumpsuits, were marched onto a Libyan beach, forced to kneel with a masked, knife-wielding militant standing behind each, and then beheaded.

The deaths touched everyone in the village’s population of around 3,400. On Monday, Bushra Fawzi could not stop weeping. He saw his son Shenouda in the video.

Battle persists for east Ukraine rail hub; rebels not ready to pull back heavy weapons

LUHANSKE, Ukraine — Intense artillery exchanges between Ukrainian government forces and Russian-backed separatists persisted Monday around a strategic town in eastern Ukraine — fighting that threatens to dash a cease-fire deal brokered by European leaders last week.

Under the cease-fire agreement negotiated by the leaders of Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France, the warring sides are to begin withdrawing heavy weapons from the front line Tuesday. That plan already looks at risk, with the rebels saying they are not satisfied that conditions are in place for the process to go ahead.

Associated Press reporters in Luhanske, a governmentheld town 15 kilometers (9 miles) northwest of the bitterly contested railway hub of Debaltseve, heard sustained shelling Monday. Some of the artillery appeared to be outgoing, suggesting it was being fired by Ukrainian troops.

Debaltseve, still in government hands, remains in contention despite the cease-fire. The rebels insist the town should revert to their control because they have encircled it. A loaded Grad rocket launcher was seen pointing in the direction of Debaltseve, but it was not fired while AP journalists were present.

Speaking by telephone Monday night, French President Francois Hollande, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko expressed concerns about the continued fighting at Debaltseve and “also expressed the wish that the OSCE observers have a free access to continue their work on the ground,” an official in Hollande’s entourage said. The official spoke anonymously because they were not allowed to speak publicly.

Sex offenders are often targets as California prisons see high rate of homicides SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Shortly after 2 a.m. on April 6, 2010, a guard at Salinas Valley State Prison noticed Alan Ager’s cellmate trying to stuff something under a mattress. It was Ager, blood trickling from his mouth and a cloth noose tied around his neck.

The convicted child molester died 10 days later without regaining consciousness, his death earning his cellmate a second life sentence.

California state prisoners are killed at a rate that is double the national average — and sex offenders like Ager account for a disproportionate number of victims, according to an Associated Press analysis of corrections records.

Male sex offenders made up about 15 percent of the prison population but accounted for nearly 30 percent of homicide victims, the AP found in cataloging all 78 killings that corrections officials reported since 2007, when they started releasing slain inmates’ identities and crimes.

The deaths — 23 out of 78 — come despite the state’s creation more than a decade ago of special housing units designed to protect the most vulnerable inmates, including sex offenders, often marked men behind bars because of the nature of their crimes.

Eurozone meeting gives Greece rest of week to request bailout extension BRUSSELS — European creditors issued Greece with an ultimatum Monday, saying the country must accept a key condition in bailout talks or face meeting its debt commitments on its own.

Another meeting of the 19 finance ministers of the eurozone over how to make Greece’s debts sustainable broke down within three hours, with Europe’s creditors giving Greece until Friday to ask for an extension to its bailout program.

Investors were growing increasingly concerned that a compromise deal was not in the offing, and the euro fell sharply with news of the collapsed talks.

Yet despite the talk of deadlines, Greece’s finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis, insisted a deal between the two sides would be signed soon and that visible progress will be made within the next 48 hours.

Train carrying crude oil derails Sends tanker into river; ignites 14 tankers; sparks house fire

By JOHN RABY Associated Press

MOUNT CARBON, W.Va. — A train carrying more than 100 tankers of crude oil derailed in southern West Virginia on Monday, sending at least one into the Kanawha River, igniting at least 14 tankers and sparking a house fire, officials said.

There were no immediate reports of injuries. Nearby residents were told to evacuate as a state emergency response and environmental officials headed to the scene about 30 miles southeast of Charleston.

The state was under a winter storm warning and getting heavy snowfall at times, with as much as 5 inches in some places. It’s not clear if the weather had anything to do with the derailment, which occurred about 1:20 EST along a flat stretch of rail.

Public Safety spokesman Lawrence Messina said responders at the scene reported one tanker and possibly another went into the river. Messina said local emergency responders were having trouble getting to the house that caught fire.

James Bennett, 911 coordinator for Fayette County, said he knew of no injuries related to the house fire or subsequent tanker fires. He said a couple hundred families were evacuated as a precaution.

The rail company acknowledged the derailment on its Twitter page.

“A CSX train derailed in Mount Carbon, WV,” the company tweeted. “We are working with first responders on the scene to ensure the safety of the community.”

The fire continued burning along a hillside Monday evening, and small fires could be seen on the river.

David McClung said he felt the heat from one of the explosions at his home about a half mile up the hill.

His brother in law was outside at the time of the derailment and heard a loud crack below along the riverfront, then went inside to summon McClung, his wife and their son.

One of the explosions that followed sent a fireball at least 300 feet into the air, McClung said.

“We felt the heat, I can tell you that,” McClung said. “It was a little scary. It was like an atomic bomb went off.”

The office of Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, which has issued a state of emergency, said the tanker cars were loaded with Bakken crude from North Dakota and headed to Yorktown, Va. Local emergency officials said all but two of the 109 cars being hauled were tanker cars.

A fire burns Monday, after a train derailment near Charleston, W.Va. Nearby residents were told to evacuate as state emergency response and environmental officials headed to the scene.

spokeswoman Laura Jordan said the company shut down a water treatment plant, located about 3 miles from the derailment, at about 2:30 p.m. The plant serves about 2,000 customers.

State health officials said another water plant downstream in the town of Cedar Grove also closed its intake. They asked customers from both water systems to conserve water.

The U.S. Transportation Department is weighing tougher

safety regulations for rail shipments of crude, which can ignite and result in huge fireballs.

Responding to a series of fiery train crashes, including one this spring in Lynchburg, Va., the government proposed rules in July that would phase out tens of thousands of older tank cars that carry increasing quantities of crude oil and other highly flammable liquids. It’s not clear how old the tankers were on the derailed train.

Egypt strikes IS in neighboring Libya

By HAMZA HENDAWI and MAGGIE MICHAEL Associated Press

CAIRO — Egypt bombed Islamic State militants in neighboring Libya on Monday and called on the United States and Europe to join an international military intervention in the chaotic North African state after extremists beheaded a group of Egyptian Christians.

The airstrikes bring Egypt overtly into Libya’s turmoil, a reflection of Cairo’s increasing alarm. Egypt now faces threats on two fronts — a growing stronghold of radicals on its western border and a militant insurgency of Islamic State allies on its eastern flank in the Sinai Peninsula — as well as its own internal challenges.

Islamic State group weapons caches and training camps were targeted “to avenge the bloodshed and to seek retribution from the killers,” a military statement said. “Let those far and near know that Egyptians have a shield to protect and safeguard the security of the country and a sword that cuts off terrorism.”

The announcement on state radio represents Egypt’s first public acknowledgement of military action in post-Moammar Gadhafi Libya, where there has been almost no government control.

Libya is where the Islamic State group has built up its strongest presence outside Syria and Iraq. Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi is lobbying Europe and the United States for a coordinated international response similar to the coalition air campaign in those countries.

“What is happening in Libya is a threat to international peace and security,” said El-Sissi.

El-Sissi spoke with France’s president and Italy’s prime minister Monday about Libya, and sent his foreign minister, Sameh Shukri, to New York to consult at the United Nations ahead of a terrorism conference opening Wednesday in Washington.

The bombs were dropped by U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets that left Egyptian bases for targets in the eastern Libyan city of Darna, according to Egyptian and Libyan security officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk the press.

The strikes came hours after the Islamic State group issued a grisly video of the beheadings of 21 Egyptian Christians, mainly young men from impoverished families who were kidnapped after travelling to

Libya for work. The video shows them being marched onto what is purported to be a Libyan beach before masked militants with knives carve off their heads.

Thirteen of the 21 came from Egypt’s tiny Christian-majority village of el-Aour, where relatives wept in church and shouted the names of the dead on Monday.

Babawi Walham, his eyes swollen from crying and barely able to speak, said his brother Samuel, a 30-year-old plumber, was in the video his family saw on the news Sunday night.

“Our life has been turned upside down,” he told The Associated Press. “I watched the video. I saw my brother. My heart stopped beating. I felt what he felt.”

Libyan extremists loyal to the Islamic State and some 400 fighters from Yemen and Tunisia have seized control of Darna and the central city of Sirte and have built up a powerful presence in the capital, Tripoli, as well as the second-largest city, Benghazi. Libya’s internationally recognized government has been driven into the country’s far eastern corner.

Without publicly acknowledging it, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates carried out airstrikes against Islamist-allied militias last year, according to U.S. officials.

“We will not fight there on the ground on behalf of anyone, but we will not allow the danger to come any closer to us,” said one Egyptian security official, who claimed that intelligence recently gathered in Libya suggests advanced preparations by Islamic State militants to cross the border into Egypt. He did not elaborate.

For now, any foreign intervention should be limited to air strikes, with political and material support from the U.S.-led coalition staging airstrikes in Iraq and Syria, the Egyptian official said. Egypt already has been amassing intelligence on extremists in Libya in a joint effort with the Libyan armed forces and West European nations, including France.

Insurgents in Egypt’s strategic Sinai Peninsula who recently declared their allegiance to the Islamic State rely heavily on arms smuggled from Libya, which has slid into chaos since the 2011 uprising that toppled Gadhafi’s 41-year rule.

France, a lead player in the campaign to oust Gadhafi, has campaigned for months for some kind of international action in Libya, and announced a deal Monday to sell fighter C

jets to Egypt. French troops are already in place near Libya’s southern border in Niger as part of a counterterrorism force.

French President Francois Hollande’s office said he and alSissi both “stressed the importance that the Security Council meets and that the international community takes new measures to confront this danger.”

Italian Defense Minister

Roberta Pinotti, meanwhile, said in an interview published Sunday in the Il Messaggero daily that her country is ready “for geographic, economic and historic reasons” to lead a coalition of European and North African countries to stop the militants’ advance in a country less than 500 miles (800 kilometers) from Italy’s southern tip.

Borough recognized for budget presentation The Kenai Peninsula Borough has been awarded “Distinguished Budget Presentation Award” for its budget. This is the 21st year that the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) has given the award to the Borough, which annually demonstrates the significant achievement and reflects the commitment to meeting the highest principles of governmental budgeting.

Craig Chapman, KPB Finance Director, accepted the award on behalf of his department’s achievements.

The borough was one of 1,424 entities that received the award.

As stated by Mayor Mike Navarre, “This significant award reminds us that Mr. Chapman and the finance department staff work diligently and professionally to assure the highest standard of financial stewardship at the Kenai Peninsula Borough.

The Finance Department sets the standard that all Borough staff strive to practice as stewards of local public funds.”

In order to receive the budget award, the borough had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation. These guidelines are designed to assess how well the borough’s budget serves as a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide and a communications device. Budget documents must be rated “proficient” in all four categories, and the fourteen mandatory criteria within those categories, to receive the award.

Victim and suspect identified in fatal Anchorage shooting ANCHORAGE (AP) — The victim of a fatal Anchorage shooting has been identified and a suspect has been charged with second-degree murder.

KTUU reports 30-year-old Sentwali Howard was fatally shot in the chest and stomach Sunday morning. He had been taken to a local hospital but died there around 6 a.m.

Howard’s acquaintance, 33-year-old Terrance Jermaine Beasley, was charged after a brief standoff with SWAT officers. Police say the two began arguing inside a convenience store over one being disrespectful to the other. Police say that witnesses claim Beasley fired several rounds with a handgun and then fled the scene.

A police K-9 led officers to Beasley at the Parkwood Inn. They arrested Beasley Sunday evening on the murder charge and a charge for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

‘Huslia Hustler’ George Attla Jr. dies at 81 ANCHORAGE (AP) — George Attla Jr., known as the “Huslia Hustler,” was an unmatched sprint racing champion and one of Alaska’s most decorated mushers.

He died Sunday at the Alaska Native Medical Center in Anchorage. He was 81 years old.

Members of Attla’s family confirmed that he passed away Sunday evening. He had been diagnosed with B-cell lymphoma just more than a week ago.

“It (happened) really quickly,” his grandniece Angela Gonzalez told the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner.

“May my Dad rest in peace,” Amanda Attla wrote on her Facebook page Sunday evening, according to Alaska Dispatch News. “He’s at his happy hunting grounds. There’s a party go-

ing on up there. Right after he passed the biggest shooting star came down. He made it. My mom told me so.”

Attla was widely considered the best sprint sled dog racer to ever compete.

He captivated fans with his underdog story. He suffered tuberculosis as a boy, spending much of his childhood in the hospital, where they straightened and fused his knee. He refused to let that keep him from racing competitively, instead turning it into his trademark.

When he made his debut in the Fur Rendezvous at the age of 25, spectators made note of him as the unknown musher from Huslia with the fused leg.

Alaska Dispatch News reports Attla captured 10 Fur Rendezvous World Championship

titles and eight North American Open Championship titles.

Throughout his life, Attla faced down numerous setbacks to his health, always finding a way to get back on the sled.

He had open heart surgery in 2008, and he had hip replacement surgery in 2009.

But after he was diagnosed with B-cell lymphoma, he declined to undergo chemotherapy treatment.

“They pretty much told us it was terminal,” Gonzalez said.

In one of his final interviews, Attla earlier this month said he was building a cabin in Huslia last fall when the effects of the cancer made it impossible to continue the task.

“I got to where I couldn’t move anything,” he said.

Born in 1933 in Interior

Alaska, Attla grew into a nearly mythical figure. His story was turned into a movie, “Spirit of the Wind,” which won the 1979 best picture award at the Sundance Film Festival.

He drove his last dog team a year ago, while helping a young Huslia musher named Trevor Henry prepare for the 2014 Arctic Winter Games.

He had a fierce competitive spirit and an intense yet respectful rivalry with Roland “Doc” Lombard.

When Lombard, an East Coast musher who for years was Attla’s chief nemesis, died in 1990, Attla reflected on the inevitable.

“The time gets the best of you,” he told the Anchorage Daily News. “You just hold it off as best you can.”

. . . Tax

Duffield said that when trying to call the IRS, it’s not uncommon to be on hold for an hour before getting assistance.

To alleviate the long wait times before speaking with an IRS representative, people are encouraged to explore online resources before calling with questions, according to a press release from the IRS. “The entire week of the Presidents Day holiday marks a peak time in the number of calls to the IRS, and we encourage taxpayers to visit IRS.gov as the best place to get quick help and answers to your questions,” wrote IRS Commissioner John Koskinen.

On the Kenai Peninsula, the AARP Tax Aide offers free tax preparation assistance at the Soldotna Library every Thursday leading to the April 15 deadline for filing tax returns.

The IRS’s “Free File,” which offers free tax return preparation help, is available for taxpayers who made $60,000 or less last year, which would account for 70 percent of taxpayers nationwide, according to the release.

While there are several free tax assistance tools available, Duffield said he cautions people who want to complete their tax returns themselves.

“If at all possible, people

really should see a tax professional to help them with their tax situation,” Duffield said.

Continued from page A-1

the current presidential administration, has become a lot more aggressive when collecting tax penalties.

“We’re seeing them go after penalties and things like they haven’t since the 1970s,” Duffield said.

For people who owe money to the IRS, but can’t make a full payment, there are options available, Duffield said.

“They can do an installment agreement with the IRS and make monthly payments to them,” Duffield said.

Aside from the Affordable Care Act, another issue facing Alaskans is reporting Permanent Fund Dividends, which is taxable income, according to the Alaska Department of Revenue.

Because the 2014 PFD was more than $1,000, dependents under 18 years of age who received a PFD also need to report their income, according to the IRS.

Bill would trim Boeing’s tax break OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A lawmaker says she will introduce a bill that could reduce Boeing’s multibillion dollar tax break if the company trims its overall Washington state workforce. The Herald of Everett reported Monday that Rep. June Robinson says her bill aims to ensure aerospace tax incentives are used to benefit the taxpayers in Washington. Robinson’s bill is the latest move in the union-led effort to compel the state to reconsider generous tax incentives if aerospace companies don’t create and retain good paying jobs.

Unions representing Machinists and engineers among others say the state was too generous when it extended tax breaks to the aerospace giant in 2013 to secure the 777X program in Everett.

No. 2 Virginia pulls away from Pittsburgh

By The Associated Press

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Malcolm Brogdon scored 18 points and No. 2 Virginia used a late 8-0 scoring run to beat Pittsburgh 61-49 on Monday night.

The Cavaliers (24-1, 12-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) three times held Pittsburgh scoreless for more than 5 minutes, and they needed all three to overcome their own problems putting points on the board. The victory allowed Virginia to tie the best start to a season in program history, first accomplished in the 1981-82 season.

Jamel Artis scored 20 and Sheldon Jeter 10 for the Panthers (17-10, 6-7). Pittsburgh cut a 10-point deficit

to three with just under 8 minutes to play, but the Cavaliers then reeled off eight straight.

Anthony Gill added 12 points and London Perrantes had 10 points and six assists for Virginia.

Isaiah Whitehead scored led the way with 15 points for Seton Hall (15-11, 5-9).

Sterling Gibbs had 12 before he was ejected for a flagrant foul in the second half.

The Pirates have lost five in a row.

Coming off a comeback win at No. 19 Butler, the Wildcats led from the start and never let up in avenging a 66-61 overtime loss at Seton Hall on Jan. 3.

No. 23 WEST VIRGINIA 62, Dylan Ennis had 12 points and Ryan Arcidiacono and JayVaughn Pinkston each No. 8 KANSAS 61 scored 10 to help Villanova (24-2, 11-2 Big East) win its seventh straight game.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Juwan

Staten made a layup with 4 seconds left to lift West Virginia to a victory over Kansas.

Staten finished with 20 points to give the Mountaineers (20-6, 8-5 Big 12) their first 20-win season in four years.

It was Staten’s first field goal over the final eight minutes after he had gone to the bench with leg cramps.

After Staten made a spin move around Frank Mason III and hit a lefthanded layup, the Jayhawks’ Perry Ellis caught a long pass but missed a layup between two defenders just before the final buzzer.

Ellis finished with 19 points, Mason had 18 and Kelly Oubre Jr. added 14 points for Kansas (21-5, 10-3).

Jevon Carter added 13 points for West Virginia.

No. 19 BUTLER 58, CREIGHTON 56 OMAHA, Neb. — Roosevelt Jones made the winning layup with 1.9 seconds to lift Butler to a win over Creighton and avoid getting upset by the Big East’s lastplace team.

The Bulldogs (19-7, 9-4 Big East) wouldn’t have been in position for Jones’ game-winner if Alex Barlow hadn’t scrambled to rebound Kellen Dunham’s missed shot a few seconds earlier. Devin Brooks missed Creighton’s last-second 3-pointer.

Dunham scored 19 points, Jones added 18 and Kameron Woods 10 for the Bulldogs, who were playing without the injured Andrew Chrabascz.

Rangers nip Islanders

By The Associated Press

UNIONDALE, N.Y. — Kevin Klein scored with 4:32 left, and the New York Rangers overcame a pair of two-goal deficits and netted three thirdperiod goals to stun the New York Islanders 6-5 on Monday night.

After falling behind 11 seconds in, the Rangers completed their game-long, uphill fight and beat the Islanders for the first time in four tries this season. They trail the Metropolitan Division-leading Islanders by two points and have two games in hand.

Defenseman Ryan McDonagh had the first two-goal game of his career, and Chris Kreider, Derek Stepan and Martin St. Louis also scored for the Rangers, who completed a 4-0 road trip.

Stepan and St. Louis scored 1:37 apart in the third to tie it.

Cam Talbot made 38 saves and improved to 5-1-1 while filling in for injured goalie Henrik Lundqvist.

Don’t expect barbs to curtail Bad Brad

By DAN GELSTON AP Sports Writer

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Brad Keselowski might as well sign up as the next celebrity target at a comedy roast.

His fellow NASCAR drivers already have plenty of practice hurling cutting barbs his way — just minus the rim shot.

Denny Hamlin on Keselowski’s rep: “Nobody wants to be Brad.”

Kyle Busch on who young drivers should emulate: “Don’t come in like Brad.”

For each blunt opinion Keselowski has about the state of NASCAR, drivers seem to have two or three zingers ready to fire right back at Bad Brad. Not even winning the 2012 Sprint Cup championship earned Keselowski his proper place at the big boys’ table. He’s yet to earn as much respect in the garage as former champs Tony Stewart, Matt Kenseth, Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon.

Heck, Keselowski even took the rap for costing Gordon a shot at a fifth title when they tangled in an accident on a late restart at Texas.

Keselowski has accepted the black hat, better to stir reaction with an outspoken opinion or two than build a career as an irrelevant driver.

If he’s failed to gain many best friends in the sport, it’s a small price to pay for having the type of passion that energizes him to be among NASCAR’s best drivers.

“I know that when I have had whatever run-ins I have had throughout my career, I

have had them because I have done the things that I feel like I need to do to be the best, and that is why I am in this sport,” Keselowski said. “That is what drives me.”

Among his most outspoken moments: —A rant against NASCAR’s move to electronic fuel injection, which led to a $25,000 fine.

—A diatribe about other teams poaching team owner Roger Penske employees. Penske later said “Brad had some misinformation” after rival team owner Rick Hendrick blasted the driver’s claims.

—A strong stance against NASCAR’s requirement that all drivers undergo baseline concussion testing.

“Some of the stuff he says, all of us shrug our shoulders, close our eyes and are like, ‘I wouldn’t have said that,’” 2010 Daytona 500 winner Jamie McMurray said. “But there is normally a little bit of truth in it, as well. He obviously likes attention or he wouldn’t say things like that.”

Even Keselowski’s detractors can’t deny his talent. He’s coming off a career-best six wins with 17 top-fives driving the No. 2 Ford for Team Penske.

“I feel like I am a top-three driver in the Sprint Cup series,” Keselowski said.

He mentioned reigning series champion Kevin Harvick and Carl Edwards as the other two drivers in the gold-silver-bronze class.

at Atlanta. But as one feud faded, another emerged.

Gordon was in position at Texas for an automatic spot in the championship round, racing for the lead on a late restart. His chances ended when Keselowski squeezed between him and Johnson, creating contact that sent Gordon spinning into the wall with a flat tire.

Gordon finished 29th and confronted Keselowski in the pits, leading to a melee between their teams. Gordon seethed because he already knew what the rest of the sport would learn months later — he was ready to call it quits and a sure victory that would have guaranteed him a spot in the finale was gone.

It was one of the rare times Keselowski took personal offense to criticism.

“What bothered me the most were people that felt I cost Jeff a championship last year because I didn’t feel that way at all,” Keselowski said. “I felt like those were people that got caught up in the rhetoric and were just trying to use a line to get readers or clicks or viewers or whatever it is. That bothered me a little bit. I didn’t lose sleep over it, though.”

Gordon has mellowed, saying a pit road speeding penalty at Martinsville was more to blame for missing the championship round than Keselowski’s accident.

“That was just racing hard,”

Gordon said. “I don’t think he really did anything wrong. It’s just the outcome was bad because I got a flat tire and it cost me making it into the final race. I’m just going to race the heck out of him and whatever happens, happens.”

Keselowski sent a congratulatory olive branch via text when Gordon announced 2015 was his last full season. He said Gordon did not respond.

Gordon is nearly finished, and with Stewart, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and other veterans inching closer toward retirement, Keselowski could earn a greater voice and use his position as a NASCAR champion to grow into an industry leader.

Stoudemire chases a title Source: Veteran forward will sign with Mavericks after clearing waivers

By SCHUYLER DIXON AP Sports Writer

DALLAS — Amare Stoudemire asked out of his contract with the New York Knicks because he wants to make a run at a championship.

The veteran forward has apparently decided Dallas is the place to spend the rest of this season chasing his first title.

A person with direct knowledge of the talks said Monday night that Stoudemire has agreed to sign with the Mavericks after taking a buyout from the Knicks.

He can’t make his verbal commitment official until he clears waivers Wednesday.

The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal wasn’t official,

told The Associated Press that Stoudemire could be available when Dallas returns from the All-Star break Thursday at Oklahoma City.

The 32-year-old Stoudemire was waived Monday after requesting the Knicks buy out the remainder of his contract that was set to expire after this season. He’s likely to clear waivers.

“I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to contribute positively on the court and in the community,” Stoudemire said.

“Although I leave the Knicks with a heavy heart, I wish the organization the best of luck. Once a Knick always a Knick.”

Dallas has needed frontcourt help since trading Brandan Wright in a deal that brought point guard Rajon Rondo from

Boston.

Stoudemire averaged 17.3 points and 6.7 rebounds in 255 games over five seasons with the Knicks, making the playoffs three times. He was a starter in the 2011 All-Star Game, the Knicks’ first in 14 years.

“His time here should be marked by recognizing his effort. It was 100 percent,” Phil Jackson, the Knicks’ president of basketball operations, said in a statement. “As we move forward in structuring this team, we will look for players that exhibit his desire to win.”

Carmelo Anthony, who wanted to play for the Knicks in part because Stoudemire had signed there in 2010, learned the news Sunday after playing in the All-Star Game.

“Amare brought something back to New York that New York was kind of missing and needing for a long time,” Anthony said. “When he came, he brought back some of the excitement here for the game of basketball in New York. There was hope when he came back.

People started believing in the New York Knicks once again.

He was the main reason for that belief and for that hope when he first got here in New York.”

Stoudemire was an All-Star in Phoenix before signing a fiveyear contract worth about $100 million in 2010. He helped the Knicks end a seven-year playoff drought his first season, but he missed significant time over the past few years because of assorted injuries.

Good coaching pays dividends Study: Young football players have less head injuries when tackling properly

By MICHAEL MAROT AP Sports Writer

INDIANAPOLIS — A new study shows young football players are less likely to get hurt or sustain head injuries when playing for coaches who have been trained in teaching proper tackling fundamentals.

Last fall, researchers at the Indianapolis-based Datalys Center for Sports Injury Research and Prevention collected data from 2,108 football players ages 5 to 15. The organization monitored injuries of 100 teams in 10 youth leagues and four states.

The data showed players who competed for coaches with training in USA Football’s “Heads-Up Football” program are better protected than those who did not.

USA Football, the sport’s national governing body, commissioned the study.

The data show that players in Heads-Up leagues were 34 percent less likely to get a concussion in practice, 29 percent less likely to get a concussion in a game and could greatly reduce the amount of significant head impacts each season, perhaps by an average of 90 fewer hits per season.

Dr. Tom Dompier, the president of Datalys and the study’s chief researcher, believes the information is so convincing, he’s putting it to use in his own household. The full results are expected to be released later Monday.

“My son is 6 and he played (flag) football last year and probably will this year. If he does play tackle football next year, it will be under two conditions. One is whether we can find equipment that fits and the second condition is that the league will have to go through Heads-Up Football,” he told

The Associated Press. “After going through these three years of study, I believe that coaching education should be mandatory.”

Datalys had previously collected data from about 4,000 youth players in 2012 and 2013.

The three-year totals show that 2.8 percent of players ages 5 to 15 were actually diagnosed with concussions and that only one player in the 5 to 7-year-old age group actually sustained a concussion during that span.

But the focus of the newest study was to determine whether coaching education could provide a safer environment on the field.

Roughly two-thirds of the players who were monitored played for coaches who had been certified undergone training with USA Football’s program.

Seventy-two of the players, ages 9 to 15, also had their

helmets fitted with devices to measure the impact of hits. Following each practice or game, independent trainers tracked the information to determine how many significant blows to the head each player took.

The study found that the 38 players who participated in Heads-Up leagues had an average of 2.5 fewer impacts per practice of at least 10 G-forces.

Over a 12-week season containing three practices per week, researchers determined that was about 90 fewer significant hits per season than those in leagues that did not undergo training.

The results also showed those who played for the certified coaches were 76 percent less likely to get injured and 57 percent less likely to sustain injuries that kept them out of action at least 24 hours. Ninety percent of those players also went uninjured, according to the study.

Armstrong ordered to pay $10 million AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — An arbitration panel ordered Lance Armstrong and Tailwind Sports Corp. to pay $10 million in a fraud dispute with a promotions company for what it called an “unparalleled pageant of international perjury, fraud and conspiracy” that covered up his use of performance-enhancing drugs.

Dallas-based SCA Promotions announced the 2-1 decision against the former cyclist when its lawyers said Monday

they had asked Texas’ 116th Civil District Court in Dallas to confirm the arbitration ruling, dated Feb. 4. The panel included a neutral chairman, who ruled in favor of SCA, and one person selected by each side.

SCA paid Armstrong and Tailwind, the since-dissolved team management company, about $12 million in bonuses during Armstrong’s career, when he won seven Tour de France titles. Those victories

were stripped after Armstrong and his U.S. Postal Service teams were found to have used banned performance-enhancing drugs.

SCA disputed the bonuses in arbitration in 2005, and the case produced the foundation of the doping evidence later used against him. Despite allegations of cheating, Armstrong continued to deny doping and the company settled with Armstrong and paid him $7 million

in 2006.

The company sued Armstrong to get its money back after Armstrong’s cheating was exposed by a report from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency and a televised confession interview with Oprah Winfrey.

The case was sent back to the original arbitration panel of independent chairman Richard Faulkner, SCA selection Richard Chernick and Armstrong pick Ted Lyon.

Sports Briefs Source: Love III to captain Ryder Cup LOS ANGELES — Davis Love III is getting another shot as U.S. captain in the Ryder Cup. Two people familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Monday night that the PGA of America has selected Love as captain for the 2016 matches at Hazeltine. They spoke on condition of anonymity because it has not been announced.

Golf Channel first reported that Love will be the next captain.

He is to be introduced on Feb. 24, when the Honda Classic is held at PGA headquarters in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

Love led the Americans to a 10-6 lead at Medinah in 2012 until Ian Poulter and Europe staged an improbable rally and matched the greatest comeback in Ryder Cup history.

This will be the second straight Ryder Cup that the U.S. gets a repeat captain, and it didn’t go so well the previous time. Tom Watson, at 65, was the oldest Ryder Cup captain and returned after a 21-year absence.

But he was out of touch with his team, made a questionable captain’s pick with Webb Simpson and benched Phil Mickelson for both sessions on Saturday. Europe won for the third straight time, extending its dominance.

Banks’ sons, caretaker battle CHICAGO — The woman who was the late baseball great Ernie Banks’ caretaker says she is determined to carry out his wishes despite concerns expressed by his family.

The twin sons of Ernie Banks asserted Monday that Regina Rice, acting as his agent and caretaker, coerced Banks into signing a new will giving her all his assets. Jerry and Joey Banks said their father was ill at the time Rice had him sign a new will.

In a statement, Rice says she understands the concerns of Banks’ family. She says the record and those closest to Banks will “dispel any iota of concern regarding my relationship with Ernie and his trust in me to carry out his wishes.”

Attorney Mark Bogen says Banks’ family will contest the will.

Former Dodgers slugger hospitalized SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — Former Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Pedro Guerrero has been hospitalized in the Dominican Republic with bleeding on the brain, but a friend says the 1981 World Series co-MVP appears to be in good spirits and is speaking with people in the hospital.

Andres Vanerhorst, who visited Guerrero in the hospital, spoke with The Associated Press on Monday.

The 58-year-old Guerrero was in the intensive care unit and is being treated by a neurosurgeon while undergoing further testing.

He was hospitalized a day earlier, and tests detected the cranial bleeding.

“We send all our best thoughts to Guerrero and his family,” a statement on the Dodgers Insider blog read.

Guerrero spent 15 years in the major leagues with the Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals. He was MVP along with Ron Cey and Steve Yeager in Los Angeles’ World Series victory over the New York Yankees in 1981.

Mariota accepts Davey O’Brien Award FORT WORTH, Texas — Marcus Mariota knows what he has to do at the NFL combine, whether he throws there or not.

“You just have to get one team to love you. That’s all that really matters,” Mariota said Monday before accepting the Davey O’Brien Award as the nation’s top quarterback. “You are interviewing and trying to market yourself to get a job. ... That’s what’s fun about this process.”

Mariota said his throwing (right) shoulder that he sprained in the first College Football Playoff championship game was feeling good. But he won’t decide for a few more days about whether to throw later this week in Indianapolis.

“Really, I’m looking forward to throwing if I’m able to do that,” he said. “It’s going to be a decision that my agent and the team that I have around me will decide when I get closer.”

The O’Brien’s black-tie awards dinner was held in downtown Fort Worth, about 20 minutes from the stadium where exactly five weeks earlier the Heisman Trophy winner got hurt in Oregon’s 4220 championship loss to Ohio State.

Busch told to stay away from ex-girlfriend DOVER, Del. — NASCAR driver Kurt Busch was ordered by a judge to stay away from his ex-girlfriend Patricia Driscoll and not communicate with her.

The decision Monday by Family Court Commissioner David Jones comes after he held four days of hearings in December and January that included conflicting testimony from Driscoll and the driver known in NASCAR circles as “The Outlaw.”

The judge’s order, which is good for a year, says Busch can’t buy or possess firearms or ammunition and must be evaluated for “mental health problems related to anger control and impulse control.” It also orders him to stay 100 yards away from Driscoll except for “at NASCAR races and related events where closer proximity is required” for Busch to “perform his duties as a driver or sponsored athlete.”

Busch’s attorney, Rusty Hardin, released a statement Monday after the ruling saying he was “deeply disappointed” and intends to appeal.

“It is important to note that the Commissioner’s ruling is a civil family court matter and totally unconnected to any criminal investigation or finding. Regardless of the Commissioner’s finding, we know that Kurt never committed an act of family violence,” Hardin said in the statement.

Ultrasound baby picture gets a negative reaction DEAR ABBY: Do you know why people nowadays feel the need to announce their pregnancies via ultrasound pictures? I’m sorry, but I really don’t want to see all that. I guess some folks think the image of a blurry, black-and-white fetus is “darling.” But to me, all I see is an up-close-and-personal snapshot of a stranger’s uterus. Even if we’re best friends, I don’t need all that detail. TMI, right?

I really wish people would deliver this kind of news face-to-face. Or call me, text me, whatever. It serves the same purpose and isn’t nearly as graphic.

— NOT READY FOR A CLOSE-UP DEAR NOT READY: If seeing a sonogram is “TMI” for your sensibilities, all you need to do is scroll past it. It’s not as if you’re being forced to view the fetus. Being able to see the product they’re manufacturing pre-delivery helps many couples to bond with their babies, and when people are happy, they often want to share their joy. So loosen up and let them.

regardless of how many times my husband has pointed out the correct spelling.

I don’t know why this is an issue, because we send her cards on all the holidays, her birthday, etc., with my name spelled correctly.

How should I approach this with her?

— SIMPLY SARA IN ARIZONA DEAR SIMPLY SARA: Abigail Van Buren If the two of you get along well, just smile and ask her why she can’t get the spelling of your name right. Then listen. However, if there is tension in your relationship, recognize that this may be a form of passive aggression, that confronting her will make her defensive, and she will find some other way to needle you.

P.S. Another thought. Tell her you’ve changed the spelling of your name to “Sarah” and she may drop the “h”!

DEAR ABBY: I have been married to my husband for 10 years. Prior to that, we dated for seven. (We met when we were teenagers.) My problem is, my motherin-law still misspells my name, which is Sara. After all DEAR ABBY: My best friend is dying from lung these years, she still adds an “h” to the end of my name, cancer, which I think has traveled to her brain. I am

than accept the same old routine.

You suddenly might realize how many choices you really have.

Remain direct when dealing with someone at a distance. You might be surprised by what you hear. Tonight: Listen to a favorite piece of music.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Deal with a partner directly.

Others will be flattered to have your time and attention, and you’ll enjoy connecting with others on a one-on-one level. Even in unpredictable situations, you will land on your feet. Trust your judgment. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might wonder whether others are ganging up on you.

People will have so much to share with you that you could feel overwhelmed. You will hear some news from someone at a distance that puts a smile on your face. Tonight: Just do not be alone.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You might be focused on your plans and on whom you want to spend time with. The unexpected will annoy you, as it is likely to slow you down. Know when enough is enough. Be willing to try someone else’s suggestion. Tonight: Make it easy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH It could be nearly impossible to keep your nose to the grindstone. You can’t seem to change your sensibilities when it comes to others. No one will be able to stop you if you see someone you want to chat with. Tonight: Be the flirt you are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH When you hit an obstacle,

heartbroken over this. My question is, she seems different now — angry. She jumped on me when we were talking about her disease.

Should I just leave her be?

Or what should I do?

— STANDING BY IN TEXAS DEAR STANDING BY: Your friend may indeed be angry, and she has a right to be. She may also be very scared. Continue to stand by her because she will need your support and understanding in the months to come.

A diagnosis of metastasized cancer can make someone feel alone and isolated. If she wants to talk about her prognosis, be prepared to listen. If she is too ill to get out of the house, bring the news about what is going on in her circle of friends to her. (Gossip can be distracting.)

Do NOT offer advice unless you are asked for it.

And if she has a bad day, try to be understanding and forgiving.

If you are attached, the two of you enjoy your life a lot more than you have in the past. Your sweetie seems to blossom right in front you, becoming a more fun-loving and spontaneous person. A fellow AQUARIUS makes an excellent friend.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You might want to understand more of what is motivating a key person in your life. Try not to verbalize how erratic you find this behavior; instead, say little, and be more of an observer. As a result, you’ll gain a new perspective. Tonight: A must appearance.

just go around it. The unexpected tends to run through your plans, and you often find yourself on a very different track from what you had intended. A boss or parent might seem unusually happy. Tonight: Expect to burn the midnight oil.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Be willing to share what is on your mind. How you say what you think has a lot to do with the way in which it is received. Understanding your limits might be more important than you realize. A fun call from someone at a distance will lighten the mood. Tonight: Out late.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Other people seem to be more in touch with your assets and talents than you are. Sometimes you give too much of yourself. A close friend or associate might ask you to join him or her. You aren’t likely to say “no.” Whatever you do, you’ll feel revived. Tonight: Let the party go on.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You might be about to take the next step in renewing a project or going forward with an offer. A sudden call could force you to verbalize your thoughts about a certain matter. You’ll know the right thing to say without giving everything away.

Tonight: Accept an offer.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Whether you feel tired or offkilter, you just might want to isolate yourself. Understand where someone is coming from and why he or she is making certain choices. You need some downtime right now.

Laughter will surround you, once you relax. Tonight: Get some extra zzz’s.

Unload the code for the abode Dear Heloise: My wife and I enjoy reading your column in the San Antonio Express-News. To avoid potential burglaries, folks who program their cars to open garage doors should ensure that the door codes are removed before the cars are traded, sold or donated. Instructions for removing the codes usually can be found in user manuals.

— Milton Bell, Live Oak, Texas Double-check Dear Heloise: Another caution for discarding unwanted junk mail and magazines/catalogs: Tear off and shred the address-label page, then remove and shred the order form inside the catalogs!

— Chris C. in Florida Good reminder, Chris. Let’s really think about this. There is not much information other than a name and address, plus the expiration date, on that label. I don’t think thieves can really do much — well, maybe sign you up for a subscription!

— Heloise Powdered gloves Dear Heloise: I wear rubber gloves when washing dishes. The other day, my hands kept getting stuck when I tried to put the gloves on. I remembered the small box of baking soda under the sink that I use for cleaning, and sprinkled a small amount in each glove. No more sticking!

— Anne W. in Indiana A handy (no pun intended) hint indeed! There are so many hints for using baking soda, and you discovered a great one!

Freshen up a stinky mop by soaking it in a mixture of baking soda (4 tablespoons) and water (1 quart). Let soak for a couple of hours, then rinse well.

Amy the pig excels in dog agility class KENT, Wash. (AP) — One student in a suburban Seattle dog agility class is drawing a lot of attention, and not just for her athletic skills. Amy is a pig.

Amid the barking of corgis, collies and Labradors, visitors will sometimes hear a snort. And there’s Amy, jumping through the hoop, balancing on the teeter-totter, retrieving the dumbbell and zipping through the play tunnel.

Lori Stock owns 5-month-old Amy and says her indoor pig is a quick learner and very motivated by food rewards.

KOMO reports that Amy has already graduated from puppy manners class and has moved on to agility and obedience at the Family Dog Training Center in Kent.

Training center president Kathy Lang says that’s a first, though she recalls a pygmy goat did attend several training classes.
